lyrics

(ExP – see)

What have I learnt from relying on my optical nerve?/
That beauty can be painted on a horrible turd/
You can push it out in public to sing songs that you've heard/
And if enough people watch it it's the God of the earth/
What have you earnt, are you famous? If not when's your turn?/
Int your goal to make it big? Is that what you'd prefer?
What about music? Apparently that's not our concern/
We make judgements with our eyes, everybody's observed/
Out of 2 I'd give her one. Who's fatty? We're all to blame/
Forget people have names, and label ‘em as they came/
And saying they must be gay or make an outrageous claim/
We instinctively brand people again and again/
But it's time to fight the instincts and start with your eyes/
Cos for thousands of years the human heart has survived/
By relying on the eyes to tell it what is a threat/
And if something differs to you then it'll definitely get/
The better of your vexed level through jealousy and stress/
Or through ridiculing them for being intelligent or less/
You're a nerd, you're a thicko, you're too common and you're posh/
You're ugly, you dumb blonde, you're fat, go get a wash/
Meaningless labels make us feel superior to others/
When clearly it just covers, our fear of being discovered/
Found out as self-esteem-less weirdos who love their mothers/
It's just your eyes lying that causes us all to suffer//

(JND – hear)
Beats cookin', three stuck in your brain/
It's the same team pushin' with a stubborn refrain/
And my hands on my ears, keep ‘em covered today/
Not cos it's cold but from the stuff that they say…shhh/
And I'm not tryna hear it, guess that's why I'm switchin' off/
Lies spread quick and often truth's kept hidden, costs/
Proof gets missing too, top secret, miss the plot/
And if they think a rumour is that God's honest, flip 'em off/
Cos I don't wanna listen to it ‘less it's first hand/
Got me checkin' sources, not some Ragu out the tin can/
Gimme evidence not speculation/
And less so sprinkled with some hearsay; I'll take mine verbatim/
Straight from the horse’s mouth, never watered down/
By a talking head squawking out the teleprompter spout/
Take fact over fiction, read behind the quotes/
And I promise that you'll hear no evil in the lines I spoke//

(Addverse - speak)

Well since birth we've learned to use words to speak/
To determine the terms and in turn to teach/
As we yearn to reach the level they said that the Messiah can/
People preach love but then practice to frighten man/
I've got a brighter plan/
It's called a moral code/
You give respect and in return you get respect that's owed/
How to detect this mode/
In knowing what to do?/
Well it's the same in how you want others to be with you/
Simple as peekaboo, even as ABC/
Screaming like a baby isn't who I'm aiming to be/
Neither is complaining about how they're claiming we're free/
When really we're just slaves stuck in chains, paid a fee//
The profits in the prophecies/
Bible, Quran, politics/
Policies, robberies, atrocities, science and hostages/
I listened in to try and hear what the apostles did/
But lost it when I couldn't find the way in which the fossils fit/
I got the same faith as atheists but opposite/
Heard about the space age aliens it's obvious/
High flying lizards in the monarchy on top of us/
And drop it now cos that's the same hearsay that's stopping us/
I got a problem with dishonesty and violence/
Cos all I want to do is seek the truth and not meet liars/
In an instance I can segregate your sentences disguises/
I'm not meaning to be righteous/
I just know what's wrong from right cos…that's the truth//
